Answers – Food Quiz

Foods to avoid:

1. Why to avoid sugar?

a) Why? When you eat or drink sugar, you feel famished and tired two hours later.

b) Energy Insulin Surge: Dr. Oz says the sudden energy surge your body experiences is followed by an insulin surge that rapidly drops the blood sugar level. To keep an even keel, Dr. Oz says to replace simple carbohydrates with complex ones so the absorption is more controlled and you experience long-term satiety.

b) Why to limit it? “It blocks the ability of a chemical called leptin, which is the way your fat tells your brain it’s there,” says Dr. Oz. “It’s not so much the 150 calories in the soda pop—it’s the fact at that same meal you will normally consume an extra hundred calories of food than you would have.”
